Albacore hulls, hull appendages, rigs and sails are measurement/manufacturing controlled. All boats shall be built in accordance with the class rules and specifications by builders approved in accordance with procedures set out in these rules. Measurement tolerances are intended to allow for genuine building errors and shall not be deliberately used to alter the design. The official measurer shall report on the measurement form anything that he considers to be a departure from the intended nature and design of the boat, or to be against the general interest of the class. A certificate may be refused, even if the specific requirements of the rules are satisfied. Between 2004 and 2010 the Albacore class completed a major update of the class rules, modernizing them by adopting the Standard Class Rule format prescribed by ISAF. Every effort has been made to assure that the 2010 International Albacore Class Rules preserve the letter and the practice of the 2004 class rules, including a generally “open rule” structure and the allowance for limited national variations. These International Albacore Rules accommodate the local UK requirement for “closed rules” by establishing the National Albacore Class rules (for use in the UK only) as a permitted variation of the International Rules. While the International Albacore Class Rules make provision for the limited national variations that have arisen over the history of the class, it is the intention of the rules that all Albacores remain as similar as possible by following the rule amendment procedures set out in Appendix H.7 to encourage adoption of only those changes that have international support. Owners and crews should be aware that compliance with rules in Section C may NOT be checked as part of the certification process. Rules regulating the use of equipment during a race are contained in Section C of these class rules, in ERS Part I and in the Racing Rules of Sailing. It is the responsibility of owners and crews to maintain compliance with section C when entering and participating in competition. The Association accepts no legal responsibility in respect of these rules or any claims arising there from. This introduction only provides an informal background and the Albacore Class Rules proper begin on the next page. 3 Albacore Class Rules International Albacore Association Copyright 2006-2014 International Albacore Class Rules 2014 PART I – ADMINISTRATION Section A – General A.1 LANGUAGE A.1.1 The official language of the class is English and in case of dispute over trans- lation the English text shall prevail. A.1.2 The word “shall” is mandatory and the word “may” is permissive. A.1.3 These class rules shall be read in conjunction with the ERS and RRS. Except where used in headings, when a term is printed in “bold” the definition in the ERS applies and when a term is printed in “italics” the definition in the RRS applies. A.1.4 The Albacore Class Rules are either open or closed as designated below: Section A-Administration ............... closed rules. Section B-Boat Eligibility .............. closed rules. Section C-Conditions of Racing ..... open rules. Section D-Hull ................................ open rules. Section E-Hull Appendages............ open rules.

A.3.2 Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the certification authority has the authority to withdraw a certificate and shall do so on the request of the IAA. A.3.3 The IAA, MNAs, NCAs, certification authority and official measurers have no legal responsibility with respect to these class rules, plans or the accuracy of measurement. No claims arising from these class rules can be entertained. A.4 ADMINISTRATION OF THE CLASS A.4.1 The international administering authority is the IAA. The certification authority is the NCA of the country of residence of boat’s owner. A.4.2 In countries where there is no NCA, administrative functions as stated in these class rules shall be carried out by the IAA.

A.5 ISAF RULES AND CLASS RULE VARIATIONS A.5.1 These class rules shall not be varied except as provided by section A.5 and RRS 87. A.5.2 National variations to these class rules are only permitted as follows: (a) At national and sub-national events held in the UK the National Albacore Class Rules shall govern.

  • DMF Sets New Course by Paul Diodati, Director Time Flies and It’S Been a Year Since Taking Over the Helm at DMF
    Published quarterly by the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries to inform and educate its constituents on matters relating to DMF the conservation and sustainable use of the Commonwealth's marine resources NEWS Volume 21 First Quarter January - March 2001 DMF Sets New Course by Paul Diodati, Director Time flies and it’s been a year since taking over the helm at DMF. The challenges of the past year have been met, and I am pleased that the public can again access our senior staff, and licensing program at the new Boston office. Staff have worked diligently to complete the new commercial licensing system that brings DMF into the 21st century. Fishermen and seafood dealers have overwhelmingly supported this new format. DMF has not undergone restructuring for over 30 years. While the cliché, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” may hold true in many instances, it does not apply very well to administra- tion of government agencies. Periodic evaluations and strategic changes are critical to overall effectiveness and contribute to longevity of professional organizations. For this reason I’ve devoted much of my first year as DMF’s Director to an examination of our functions, services we provide, and our available resources relative to the agency’s mission with reorganization in mind. A new organizational structure for the Division has been and protect the living marine resources, environment, and completed. It will be highlighted at DMF’s homepage after it fisheries that comprise it. The ex-vessel value of commer- is presented to our staff in April. Restructuring to make better cially-caught fish and direct expenditures related to recre- use of existing resources have forced me to make some ational saltwater fishing exceed a half billion dollars per year.

  • 2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey
    2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey [email protected] One Design Classes and Sailor Survey One Design sailing is a critical and fundamental part of our sport. In late October 2019, US Sailing put together a survey for One Design class associations and sailors to see how we can better serve this important constituency. The survey was sent via email, as a link placed on our website and through other USSA Social media channels. The survey was sent to our US Sailing members, class associations and organizations, and made available to any constituent that noted One-Design sailing in their profile. Some interesting observations: • Answers are based on respondents’ perception of or actual experience with US Sailing. • 623 unique comments were received from survey respondents and grouped into “Response Types” for sorting purposes • When reviewing data, please note that “OTHER” Comments are as equally important as those called out in a specific area, like Insurance, Administration, etc. • The majority of respondents are currently or have been members of US Sailing for more than 5 years, and many sail in multiple One-Design classes • About 1/5 of the OD respondents serve(d) as an officer of their primary OD class; 80% were owner/drivers of their primary OD class; and more than 60% were members of their primary OD class association. • Respondents to the survey were most highly concentrated on the East and West coasts, followed by the Mid- West and Texas – though we did have representation from 42 states, plus Puerto Rico and Canada. • Most respondents were male.
